SEATTLE, Wash., May 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — NewFed Mortgage Corp., a full-service residential mortgage lender operating across more than 20 states, today announced the companywide rollout of Friday Harbor’s AI pre-underwriting platform following a successful pilot program that demonstrated measurable gains in fulfillment productivity and underwriting throughput. Since implementing Friday Harbor, NewFed processors handle 36% more files per month while underwriters review 35% more loans. Those productivity gains enabled the company to fund nearly $170 million more in loan volume in 2025 than in 2024 without expanding its fulfillment team.

“Removing low-value, repetitive work is what allows people to focus on the decisions that actually matter,” said Rob Jewett, chief operating officer at NewFed Mortgage. “I have seen so much technology in this industry, and to me, this is the single best piece of tech I’ve ever worked with.”

Friday Harbor reviews loan files as they’re being built, catching missing documentation and income discrepancies before they become underwriting conditions. By applying investor requirements and lender-specific overlays during file assembly rather than at the underwriting desk, the platform helps teams correct issues when they’re still manageable instead of costly.

“When Rob and I first met, he was looking to grow NewFed’s capacity for a predicted increase in volume without over-hiring or draining his people,” said Friday Harbor Founder and CEO Theo Ellis. “Friday Harbor removes the burden of sit-and-stare tasks by flagging potential issues, so teams can focus on the work that actually requires judgment instead of just hunting for missing documents.”

The operational impact has extended across multiple areas of NewFed’s business. Application-to-funded cycle times compressed from 32 days to 26 days. Funded-to-purchase timelines dropped from 23 days to 18 days, moving capital off the balance sheet faster after closing. Friday Harbor has also proven valuable for training, helping new processors learn from actual loan files rather than relying solely on classroom scenarios.

NewFed uses Friday Harbor through its integration with the Encompass® loan origination system from ICE Mortgage Technology, allowing loan data, documents and conditions to remain synchronized throughout the origination process. As an early design partner, NewFed worked closely with Friday Harbor to help shape the platform around real-world fulfillment workflows, operational realities and production-scale lending environments. That collaboration helped Friday Harbor refine how the platform surfaces underwriting issues earlier, supports fulfillment staff productivity and fits into existing lender operations without disrupting established processes.

Gutscheine7 aggregates a wide range of offers from German retailers and brands, covering categories such as fashion, electronics, home goods, and pharmacy products. Unlike the U.S., where promo codes are dominant, Germany’s discount landscape often includes direct price reductions, seasonal sales, and store-specific promotions. The platform organizes these offers into a clear and structured format, allowing U.S. visitors to quickly understand and take advantage of local deal types without confusion.

Before making a purchase, travelers can use Gutscheine7 to browse current offers by brand or category, helping them compare options and identify the best available savings. The platform is continuously updated to reflect the latest promotions, reducing the likelihood of encountering expired or invalid discounts at checkout. This focus on usability and accuracy helps eliminate the trial-and-error experience that often comes with using coupons in a foreign market.

Gutscheine7 is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring a streamlined interface and intuitive navigation that make it accessible even for first-time users. Whether shopping online or visiting physical stores, U.S. travelers can quickly find relevant deals and make more informed purchasing decisions during their trip.

“Our goal is to make local savings accessible to everyone, regardless of where they are from,” said Lukas Schneider, Head of International Growth at Gutscheine7. “For U.S. travelers visiting Germany, understanding how discounts work locally can be a challenge. Gutscheine7 helps bridge that gap by providing clear, up-to-date, and practical savings information.”

As cross-border travel and shopping continue to grow, platforms that simplify access to local deals are becoming increasingly valuable. Gutscheine7’s focus on German market expertise positions it as a useful tool for international visitors looking to maximize value during their stay.

NAPLES, Fla., May 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Amba, a leader in passive AI-powered care technology, will host a live webinar titled “From Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage ” on May 20, 2026, focused on how senior living operators can move beyond reactive care and how working with better visibility and earlier insight improves operational efficiency.

Image caption: Tiffany Village will discuss how its care teams use Amba’s AI-powered passive care technology to reduce falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks across its senior living communities in the webinar “Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage” on May 20, 2026.

The session, presented in partnership with Senior Housing News, will feature Kristen Parsons, President of Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, alongside Amba Founder and CEO Stuart Hamilton. The two will walk through what changed over two years of using Amba, what that shift meant for care delivery, and how teams actually work day-to-day.

Amba uses passive, privacy-first sensors to track patterns in sleep, movement, and behavior, without cameras or audio. Over time, the platform builds a baseline for each resident and flags meaningful changes, helping teams decide when to step in and where to focus their attention.

The system is designed to work within existing environments, allowing communities to adopt it without overhauling infrastructure or workflows.

The webinar follows the release of a new case study based on results from the St. John’s, Newfoundland communities, where Amba has been used to provide care teams with clearer visibility into resident needs, enabling them to step in earlier before an infection or issue arises.

At Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, care teams have seen fewer disruptions and more consistent care. Occupancy increased, and labor costs came down, while care teams reported feeling more confident in how they prioritize their day, in data analyzed from 2023 to 2025:

Result highlights at Tiffany Village and Kenney’s Pond include:

• 89% reduction in falls
• 78% reduction in medication issues
• 97% reduction in hospitalizations

“Amba is very easy to fall in love with,” said Parsons. “Once your team sees the benefit and starts using it every day, it becomes part of how you deliver care.”

These outcomes were achieved without adding staff, challenging the assumption that better outcomes require more staffing.

“Most communities aren’t short on effort; they’re short on visibility,” said Amba’s Hamilton. “When teams can see what’s changing in real time, they don’t have to wait for something to go wrong. They can step in earlier, with more confidence, and focus their time where it actually matters.”

During the webinar, attendees will hear directly from Parsons about what it took to implement the system, where things started to change, and how their approach to care has evolved over time.

Topics include:

• How to increase caregiver capacity without adding payroll
• Why many systems keep communities stuck in reactive workflows
• What proactive care actually looks like in practice
• What two years of real data reveal about operations

Webinar Details: The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 12 p.m. Eastern. To register or download the case study, visit: https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5323094/16843E5E12924BD0B946E1C5C11C26D9?partnerref=amba
